Three alums of William McKinley High’s New Directions are all caught up.
Glee alums Darren Criss, Lea Michele, and Dianna Agron spent a night on Broadway, with the women in the audience as Criss performed in Maybe Happy Ending at the Belasco Theatre in New York City.
Michele cheekily captioned several photos of the group, “Night out with my beautiful friend from high school to see our former classmate perform on Broadway.”
Agron made her own post of images from the evening that she captioned: “WMHS FOREVER. Completely & utterly heartwarming all around – another huge round of applause for you, Darren.”
Glee ended in March 2015, after six seasons. The hit Fox show racked up six Emmy wins over its run.
Michele’s Rachel, Agron’s Quinn, and Criss’ Blaine were part of the talented group led by Matthew Morrison‘s Mr. Schue. Other cast members included Chris Colfer (Kurt), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Kevin McHale (Artie), Heather Morris (Brittany), and Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester).
Sadly, several cast members from the show have died since it began: Cory Monteith (Finn), who died of a drug overdose in 2013; Mark Salling (Puck), who died by suicide in 2018; and Naya Rivera (Santana), who drowned in 2020.

In February, cast member Harry Shum Jr., who played Mike, said he continues to appreciate Glee, despite the sadness associated with it.
“I’m able to watch and celebrate,” he said on the Call It What It Is podcast. “I look at like Naya [Rivera], Cory [Monteith], and Mark [Salling], and look at the beautiful work that they put in, and the humor that they brought to so many…. You can look at what could have been and, unfortunately, the past is the way it is, and you can’t really do much to change that outside of right now, and to celebrate how many lives that they affected, how many people that got some joy from their performances and songs that will live on forever.”
